Is Simpsons Land always open?

[MarBee]

Hello! We are planning a last minute one day trip where my Simpsons fan can really hang out in and experience Springfield/Simpsons Land. I saw it mentioned in just one video somewhere (it escapes my memory where) that Simpsons Land closes on low crowd days. Is this true? Asking because it’s one of our main focuses and we are going on what is predicted to be a low crowd day.

They have started opening at 10am on low crow days.

Yeah would be hard to close it for a day - it's a main walk though, and honestly I am not sure there really are low crowd days anymore.

Its not open during early entry as far as I recall and some stuff opens later as its restaurants and such ... like Moe's

It may be as the PP noted that its 10AM now some days, which might jive with budget cut rumors.

That’s good news! I figured we will be rushing to the HP stuff first thing in the morning anyway. We will prob get to Simpsons around lunch time

Noticed that last week, that whole side of the park didn't open until 10am - could not walk past the central park area early in the morning. ET, Simpsons, & MIB areas opened 10am.

wow, that's all interesting. Had no idea that area's opening was delayed sometimes. Thankful for this thread, and for the heads up. Doubtful we'd rope drop that side, but who knows. DS really loves the SImpson's ride, and we sometimes find ourselves at MiB early. Good to know!

Me either, tried to head for Simpsons/ET first thing since we were entering around 9:15 & Minions already had a long line.

I have only been to Universal once in 2018, and my kids were pretty little, so I don’t recall a whole lot.
Is the fact that these don’t open till 10 going to hinder us from getting all the “must do” attractions done? Or do you think we will be fine. My plan was to do HP stuff first thing in the morning. (Not sure if that’s even a good plan or not.)

No, shouldn't hinder you much. We had happened to do all the "non-10am" rides the previous day & left the Simpsons side of the park for Friday, so it threw a wrench in our plans on Friday AM, but not too bad. The park opened at 9am anyways so it was only an hour delay, and it'll take you that long to do HP stuff assuming you're not just hopping on Gringotts & hightailing it out of Diagon Alley.
